NEW ROCHELLE, NY — City School District of New Rochelle Medical Director Brooke Balchan was kept out of the loop in setting up the Montefiore New Rochelle vaccination plan, sources say.
FUSE and A&S Leadership learned of this and the information was shared with the Westchester County Department of Health, New York State Department of Health and Montefiore New Rochelle.
Balchan, sources say, first learned of the vaccination plan when Interim Superintendent Dr. Alex Marrero sent a broadcast email to all District employees at 12:04 pm on Thursday.
Balchan questioned whether non-medical District staff legitimately qualified for the vaccine prioritization as these job classifications had not yet been approved by Governor Cuomo.
Hours later the New York State Department of Health stepped in and shut down the program.
